English Translation

Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!
Let us amount our flesh and blood towards our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation faces its greatest peril,
The thundering roar of our peoples will be heard!
Arise! Arise! Arise!
We are many, but our hearts beat as one!
Braving the enemy's gunfire, march on!
Braving the enemy's gunfire, march on!
March on! March on! on!
